While they nominally output 11.1V, they are charged up to 12.6V, or 4.2V per cell, and then drop down to around 9V at a minimum or else you probably damaged the battery. So really a robot battery will be a very similar replacement.

Just that the robot battery wont catch fire if you drop it the wrong way. Those LiPos pack quite a punch.
